GRAND ANNUAL STEEPLECHASE

 

May 1888
After the momentous decision to abandon the Grand Annual in 1886 and continue with a programme of Hurdles and National Hunt Flat races, this idea extended into 1888.

The Worcester Grand Annual Steeplechase is intrinsically linked with the Aintree Grand National, its inaugural running taking place in 1836, the same year the first 'unofficial' Grand National took place.

Another famous race from days gone by, the Land O' Plums Steeplechase, formerly run at Pershore Racecourse, has now been reinstated at Worcester racecourse.
